    The location was great. Our room was clean and comfortable. We chose to have the breakfast and found it to be very nice. We will return.

    It was really good for the money we paid. The room and bathroom were big and renewed.It is close to the Center.The staff is really emphatic:I totally recommend

    9KarenPosted on: 12-6-2024

    Property is centrally located. My accommodations were good. Room size was good.

    Maybe a small breakfast option should be included?

    8Billie123Posted on: 10-22-2024

    Nice view from the room over the river, good breakfast.

    Water in the shower could have been a bit hotter

    9MiguelPosted on: 10-14-2024

    The bedroom is very spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Having a bar and parking lot are excellent add-ons. The TV is smart so you can screen mirror your phone for watching whatever you want and the bedroom even features a Bluetooth speaker and a coffee machine.

    10SandraPosted on: 8-7-2024

    Clean, friendly and quiet hotel perfectly located by the Lima River in Ponte da Barca.Welcoming staff and lovely design.Nice touch with free water, coffee and parking. My husband loved the breakfast and plus for the fact that the staff kindly let me accompany him although I didn’t have any breakfast.

    Could have had duvets instead of just bed sheets for people that prefer sleeping with duvets.The drainage in the sink could be improved as if was quite clogged.

    9AmynahPosted on: 6-22-2024

    Beautiful decorated quaint hotel and comfortable rooms

    Breakfast is additional value

    10JohnPosted on: 6-13-2024

    Everything, Location peaceful and next to the old part of town, river and ancient bridge. Views from the room onto garden and river were outstanding. The staff were very welcoming and looked after our every need. Beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean and very tidy gardens.

    Could not fault anything.

    10PamelaPosted on: 5-14-2024

    I love where it sits- gorgeous river, ancient church bells from the village, birdsong.

    The deserted bar- no- one to share the pool table!

    10ZalmanPosted on: 4-17-2024

    The location is fantastic, with beautiful scenery and quaint town. Staff was friendly, Completely remodeled rooms were modern, clean and well appointed. Boutique hotel with high value for money. Good breakfast.

    The town is a little hard to get to, but worth the effort.

    7Slavka.weberovaPosted on: 10-13-2023

    9StephenPosted on: 9-17-2023

    Location and rooms, comfortable beds

    It could do with a kettle and coffee, tea making facility

    10EvgeniiPosted on: 6-28-2023

    It is the perfect hotel to getaway from the noisy city. Room looks new and fresh, quiet area, comfortable bed. Hotel managers were the best, extremely polite and attentive (thank you again). Spacious parking. Lovely small city around. All in all, will definitely come back for exploring Geres park.

    Everything was great. If just being nit-picky, there is a big gate stopper in the middle of the entrance to the parking, mind it if you have slim tyres on your car :)
